M-R   Replace all instances of first typed-in string with second
          typed-in string.  End each string with ESC.

=>		(6) REGIONS & THE KILL BUFFER

M-<spacebar>	set MARK at current position
^X ^X		eXchange mark and cursor

A REGION will then be continuously-defined as the area between the mark and
the current cursor position.  The KILL BUFFER is the text which has been
most recently saved or deleted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=>		(7) COPYING AND MOVING

^W  Delete (Wipe) region		M-W	copy region to KILL buffer
^Y  Yankback save buffer at cursor
Generally, the procedure for copying or moving text is:
    1)  Mark a REGION using M-<spacebar> at beginning and cursor at end.
    2)  Delete it (with ^W) or copy it (with M-W) into the KILL buffer.
    3)  Move the cursor to the desired location and yank it back (with ^Y).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=>		(8) MODES OF OPERATION

^X ^M   Delete mode in buffer           M-^M   Delete global mode
OVER		Replaces (overwrites) rather than inserts characters
WRAP		Turns on word wrap (automatic carraige return).
VIEW		Allows viewing file without insertion and deletion.
CMODE		Automatic indenting for C program entry
EXACT/MAGIC	Changes how search and replace commands work (see next page)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=>		(9) SEARCH AND REPLACE MODES

EXACT	Uppper/lower case is not ignored in searches
MAGIC   Regular pattern matching characters are active
    .   Matches any one character
    *   Matches any any number of the preceding character
    ^   Beginning of line        [ ]   Character class enclosure
    $   End of line              \     Quote next character
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

M-^C		Count words/lines/chars in marked region
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
